Mid-year vacations to San Andrés: key activities
To make the most of your mid-year vacation, San Andrés offers simple and memorable activities that don't require long commutes or complicated planning.
Whether you're traveling alone, as a couple, with friends, or with family, these three activities have become favorites if you want to enjoy your vacation in San Andrés without wasting time or energy.
- The Piscinita:
It's one of the best places for snorkeling. The clear water allows you to see colorful fish without diving too deep. It's a place that surprises with its transparency, accessibility, and calm. You can rent what you need at Piscinita and spend hours floating and enjoying what the sea has to offer, without any distractions.
- Cayo Aquarius:
Aquarius Cay is another spot worth enjoying. A boat will take you there, and in minutes you'll be walking on sand in the middle of the ocean. The waters are shallow, making it safe for those who want to swim without worries or simply gaze at the seabed from the surface. When the tide allows, you can walk to Haynes Cay and enjoy more of the experience.
